Bioactive compounds of 44 traditional and exotic Brazilian fruit pulps: phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity

Bioactive compounds and antioxidant activity from 44 fruit were evaluated. The data were statistically evaluated by analysis of common components and specific weights (CCSWA). Panã, acerola, açaí, and jabuticaba showed higher values of total phenolic compounds (TPCs) and antioxidant activity. The an...

Description
Summary:Bioactive compounds and antioxidant activity from 44 fruit were evaluated. The data were statistically evaluated by analysis of common components and specific weights (CCSWA). Panã, acerola, açaí, and jabuticaba showed higher values of total phenolic compounds (TPCs) and antioxidant activity. The analysis of CCSWA was able to explain almost 100% of the variance of the data and established the correlation between TPC and antioxidant capacity, being the most influential variables in the classification of samples. This statistical method is ideal for quickly analyzing a large amount of data, as obtained in this research, which facilitates routines of industrial analysis.
